Stage One Kit Fitted

It was featured in mini world a while back because I had the mag but I don't have it anymore so maybe you can contact them? I do know that it cost around 40-£50000 to build, not sure if that was already said on the dvd.

I probably am starting to sound like a broken record but I was at the film shoot and obviously got talking about the car, actually spoke mainly to his dad about the car more than Andy.
It is a 1460 Swiftune engine and straight cut box, after discarding aN MED 1293 turbo, which he reckoned was C**p.
It's a naturally aspirated 154bhp.
It's Rossa Red (GTM kit car colour, but not sure wether it's paint or gel coat because I never asked)
It's a mini minus, so fibreglass with 3"inch taken out the body like my one (not smurfy the other one). plus he's put a sunroof in it.
It has carbon miglia arches from curley.
An Aluminium aero foil underneath which I don't think they mention on the DVD.
He also told us that it cost nearer £30k to complete, but probably has lost track and tells people different things.
It's got very light weight billet split rims on yoko's.
Bonded roll cage.
Curley Carbon dash and one of those tiny little racing Data screens (no clocks).
Awesome.
Drives it everyday and attends sprints and track days....
...and the lucky buggers got hold of a spare minus shell incase he wrecks this one.
Plus it was the only one (apart from bill's) not to break down that day

Sorry, He told me but I can't remember.dont suppose you know what rims? they look like alleycats which would mean 13x8?
I was only just getting in to mini's at the time so alot of what he was saying was going over my head.
Don't think they were specific rims for mini's tho. Buy a copy of retro car magazine because they've got loads of styles of billet rims on their cars. You might come across 'em (ooh err missus).
